Congressional election since. In the
House he has been recognized as bold,
fearless, aggressive opponent in corpora
tion influences, and o. the centralizing
tendencies of the Republican party. The
former influences strongly autagonized
his Senatorial aspirations. but this op-
position had the effect of rallying the
large agricultural element of the Texas
Legislature in his favor and enabled him
to wrest victory from the strong elements
which were arrayed against him. The
new Senator elect was the author of the
Reagan Interstate Commerce Bill
which passed the House at the last SEES

porters of the Interstate Commerce
Bill which recently passed both Houses

A well known English confidence man
known as Gentleman Mark" alias
Mark King, it is asserted, recently swim
died a well-knOwn scientist of Philadel-
phia out of $4,000 in gold. King pre-
tended that he had learned a secret in
Mexico by which gold couid he extracted
from ordinary granite rock by the use of
gold coin and liquid compound. He
made several experiments, ALL of which
produced wond. rful results. The scientist
became so excited that he went to his
bank and drew out $4,000 i'm gold and
turned it over IT, King, who placed it. a.
usual, in several Jars containing the rock
and liquor, which were duly sealed.
Shortly afterward King decamped, and
when the scientist proceeded to remove
the seals from the jars he found that
there were false caps to Them, which had
allowed King an opportunity of remov-

Work will soon begin in Boston on the
new steel yacht designed by Mr. Ed
ward Burgess to contest with the new
Scotch craft Thistle" ne1t summer.
As the latter is designed to be the fastest
ever produced in England, the impor
lance of the contest will be realized.
The American craft is to be built of
steel, and no expense or skill will be
spared to make her the very perfection of
white-winged flyers. As the May
was an improvement on the Puritan, so,
thinks Mr.. Burgess. will this new vessel
be on both his previous efforts. The
yacht will be a center board. and will be
of the best build. Her keel will be of
the best channel fiange iron, and the
base of the center-board will be made of
heavy bar forgings. The principal aim
will be to make her thoroughly sea
going. She will be eighty-two feet long
The yacht will be the property of Mr.. C..
Oliver Iselin. of New York City.

Miss Van Zandt, the Chicago young

Saturday last, by Chicago justice of the

have discovered law which allowed
such a marriage where the absent party
has given power of attorney to another
to represent him. Such a document
Spies gave to his brother, and the
brother stood up with Miss Van Zandt
and made the responses in behalf of the
condemned man. Mrs. Van Zandt, the
mother and the sisters of Spies were
present at the so-called ceremony. The
sheriff, who so pluckIly and sensibly for
babe the marriage within the prison
walls, now declares that the marriage
shall not be consummated so long as
Spies liz under his charge.

DIR. McGlynn is now in open rebellion
to his church. He refuses to retract or
go to Rome to explain to the Pope. He
is out in a fresh letter excoriating Arch
bishop Corrigan, and says the mistake
the church is making in his case is like
that committed when it denounced Cali
leo. The Doctors letter is very spicy,
and he re-affirms the doctrine he has
been preaching. The Doctor is clearly
disposed to fight rather than submit.
His ideas Of ownership Of land are con-
trary to all established principles that
govern society. He might as we'll give
up the fight first as last as his doctrines
can not and should not prevail.

The Condition Ofthe Negro.

The Brooklyn independent, says the
New Orleans Times Democrat, finding
the greatest difference of opinion AS to
the condition of the negro in the South,
set to work to find OF the truth for il.
self ia an unusual, but certainly. the
best way. The HdepeHdem complains
that the difference between Democratic
ann Republican papers on this point
W orried and unsettled it. \ Democratic
paper declares that the negro en- loved
every right in the South to which he was
entitled, and that the race was improv-
ing and advancing; Republican paper
in the very same town would contradict
this statement in every particular. Ac-
cording to it the negro was refused his
rights, was ground down, and led a f. ar
full life of oppression and suffering.
The independent hit on the idea Of in
vestigating the matter. not from the
standpoint of the whites, but of the ne
grOes. and accordingly wrote to large
number of representative colored men
and women throughout the South for
their private views as to the condition of
their race, financially and otherwise,
whether they were we'll treated and
whether they rece i've the full protection
of the law. The questions were asked
privately-that ia, the negroes were
given an opportunity to express their
views in the frecst and most uncon-
strained manner, without any chance of
persecution or ill-treatmeDt in conse-
quence.
The independent, which is not Demo
cratic, which has no particular friendship
or leaning toward the South, cOnfesses
itself surprised at the replies it has re
ceived-they are so favorable and en-
couraging. In regard to the question of
the tendency of negroes To own property,
the replies We're fa- better than was to be
expected. 1t would seem, however, that
sections, one third or more of the negroes
were reported as owning their residences,
there are other quarters where not more
than one in a hundred had got further
than renting the land. To the question,
"Are there any laws in your State more
and, lis the Law administered differently
to the two races 2" the rep les were gen
orally satisfactory. Not one negro com
planned of any unequal or I'M lust laws,
but some few thought that while in the
letter of the law there was no difference
in its application there was some dis
elimination. The more intelligent.
however, agreed that the laws bore on
all alike and did not Oppless one race
more than another, and especially was
this so of the responses from louisiana.
The result of the Independents inquiries.
made directly to the negro himself, has
demonstrated clearly that his condition.
legally, industrially and financially, is
improving and advancing under the pres
ent Democratic regime now universal
throughout the South.

Sound Sense for the SANS"


The Boston Herald, in a::Iate issue,
said: ave would advise Brother Sam
Jones, and Brother Sam Small also, to
limit their work to eNhOrtatiOns to peO-
pie to stop lying. stealing, swearing.
cheating, deceiving. backbiting. and
misbehaying generally, and to develop
their capacity to love their wives and
children. respect their neighbors and be
good citizens, and leave tine deeper ques-
tiOns of theology to people who know
more than they do. 1t is hardly to be
expected that all of the fruits of educa-
ton should he thrown away because
some people aIe ignorant.
The HeT0id is doubtless right about
this There are much ADLER theologians
in Boston than either Brother Jones or
Brother Small, but the people don't
crowd their churches because they don't
want to hear what they have to say.
They are dry-ass-dust sort of preachers,
and they don't do anybody much good.
The theology they preach will not. per
haps, lie the theology that will be taught
half "A century hence. Some professors,
like those a. Andover, will knock the
IrOps from under it and it will drop out
of sight. A few peOnle, who enjoy side
splitting doctrinal hairs better than they
en- Joy a good dinner, find pleasure in
take no intere 1t in them.
Brother Jones and Brother Small have
succeeded so well because they have, as
a rule, avoided doctrinal questions, and
preached the Gospel and morality in a
plain. matter of-fact sort of way. 1t Is
probable that they thought they ought to
give the Boston people a little deep the
ology. and they got beyond their depth.
The people of that city can give them
points on theological questions. and
hence the Herald gave them very good
advice when it told them to stick TO an
ecdote, personal experience and exhorta-
ton, and let deep theology alone. They
are novelties i'm Boston and they draw
well. They have a chance to do a great
deal of good there if they are disposed to
do il. If they travel out of their beaten
path. however, they will cease to attract
attention. They must be- satisfied with
being revivalists. They must not try to
make regulations as theologians.
